Future<void> convertUriToFile() async {
try {
String uriString = 'content://sample.txt'; // Uri string

// Don't pass uri parameter using [Uri] object via uri.toString().
// Because uri.toString() changes the string to lowercase which causes this package to misbehave

// If you are using uni_links package for deep linking purpose.
// Pass the uri string using getInitialLink() or linkStream

File file = await toFile(uriString); // Converting uri to file
} catch (e) {
